We had a fantastic weekend in "Freddy" Town. The dogs and humans were all on there best game! We raced very well...especially on Sunday.
A few line-up changes were made on Saturday morning...Alex and Surtsey were alternating the height dog position but I also but them in as START dogs and they both did really well. Surtsey had some of her best times EVER!! It was also a good way to psych out the competition. They saw Alex on the line and let their guard down...then we hit them with the Shi, Molly,Chance combo and WON!!
It was really nice having the tourney with the PET EXPO. Lots of vendors and a HUGE raffle! Carol even won something special for Surtsey. Since she leaving soon I'm hoping we'll get a picture of Surtsey modeling her new jacket before she has to head south.
We took 3rd place on Saturday (not last!) and FIRST place on Sunday...only losing one race the whole day!
The cabin we stayed in was very convenient for the dogs although a bit on the "dingy" side but we all agreed that the location for walking dogs in the AM & PM was worth it. We also all got our own beds...thanks to Lynne for volunteering to take the pull out couch which worked out better as just a mattress on the floor!
So now it's just our tournament to get ready for!
We need to resolve the "getting the equipment here" problem and get as many raffle donations as we can. Plus the zillion other little things.
